FSCmerkintöjen

FSCmerkintöjen refers to labeling related to the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). The FSC is a non-profit organization that promotes responsible management of forests worldwide. When a product carries an FSC label, it signifies that it has been sourced from a forest that has been independently certified to meet strict environmental, social, and economic standards.

There are several types of FSC labels, each indicating a different level of FSC involvement in the supply chain. The most common are FSC 100%, which means all wood or wood-based materials in the product come from an FSC-certified forest. FSC Recycled indicates that the materials used are post-consumer or pre-consumer recycled content. FSC Mixed indicates that the product contains material from FSC-certified forests, recycled materials, or controlled wood, which is not from unacceptable sources but is not yet eligible for the FSC 100% or FSC Recycled label.

The FSCmerkintöjen system aims to provide consumers with a clear and trustworthy way to identify products that contribute to sustainable forestry practices. By choosing products with FSC labels, consumers can support efforts to protect biodiversity, respect the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities, and ensure the long-term economic viability of forests. The certification process involves rigorous audits by accredited third-party organizations to ensure compliance with FSC standards throughout the supply chain, from the forest to the final product.
